The best guide to Pemberley, made so much more special by being presented from Mr Darcy’s perspective, as a joint effort of his, his sister’s and darling wife’s, and also by the fact that a percentage of the profits will be donated to the Jane Austen Literary Foundation, chaired and founded by Caroline Jane Knight, Jane Austen’s fifth great-niece. All of us, who simply can’t have enough of the magical place that is the Pemberley of our hearts, can’t fail to treasure this delightful book, from the very first page that rewards us with an exquisite miniature of Mr Darcy, all the way to the heartfelt ‘I can only add, God bless you.’

Within the pages of this book, printed to the highest standards, you will begin by finding Mr Darcy sitting in his study, intent upon his work, under the loving gaze of his wife watching him from the miniature on his desk. Then you will be treated to glimpses of Pemberley presented as sumptuous watercolours created by Miss Darcy, where every shade and every stroke emphasizes the beauty of a historical building known to some as Lyme Park, and forever treasured by many as the iconic Pemberley.

Apart from bearing witness to J.B. Grantham’s enduring love for Mr and Mrs Darcy and their home, what this book does best, in my opinion, is to seamlessly and convincingly blend the true history of Lyme Park with the history of the Darcys. You’ll find detailed watercolours of the beautiful country house and learn more about how it came to be built and when, and likewise about the ancient clock, and the stone fountain in the middle of the inner courtyard. You’ll be enchanted by several views of the house, with its undulating reflection in a well-known lake; not in a well-known pond, but be not alarmed, the pond features in the book too. As does the towering lime-tree that marks the spot of a certain encounter made forever memorable, even if one of the protagonists was ‘less formally attired,’ but as handsome as in his portrait, as Mrs Gardiner pointed out. You’ll find hidden corners and colourful gardens, where Elizabeth is strolling among the rhododendrons, alone or with her adoring husband, and several maps presented as sketches drawn by Mrs Darcy on her many rambles.

With every sketch and every exquisite page, ‘Mr Darcy’s Guide to Pemberley’ brings the ancient building to life and shows it as the home of our favourite characters, where their ‘happily ever after’ unfolds before our very eyes. I hope you’ll travel to Pemberley in your imagination with Mr Darcy’s Guide, and that you'll love the journey as much as I did.

Wow! This was an absolute joy to receive! Mr Darcy’s Guide to Pemberley is a charming and innovative concept, and so beautifully executed! The well-researched narrative and the exquisite accompanying drawings speak to my heart on so many levels, and I know it’s something I will turn to time and again to enjoy.

The quality of the book is almost as stunning as its contents! From the beautifully illustrated book jacket with its gold lettering, to the well-laid out pages, this hard-back landscape book is perfect for any coffee table. The pages are thick and smooth to the touch, making it a pleasure to turn each one - and what a pleasure awaits as you do!

This ‘Guide to Pemberley’ is written from the master himself, Mr Darcy, and it is accompanied by watercolours, maps and drawings from his wife, Elizabeth, and his sister, Georgiana, as you are given a private tour of the grounds of this stunning estate.

If you love Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, then you will delight in this glimpse into one aspect of the lives of Mr and Mrs Darcy and their family at their home in Derbyshire. It is a rare opportunity to appreciate the beauty and history of the Pemberley estate and to feel you are being invited to share in it.

Whatever your literary preferences, however, this is a treat for anyone who loves history, English landscapes, stately homes and stunning gardens. Filled with beautiful illustrations and told with a creative writing style, this is a book to treasure.

Devotees of Jane Austen and Pride & Prejudice in particular long to hear, feel, smell, and touch all that is Pemberley. While some prefer eBooks, I can tell you inequitably that “Mr. Darcy’s Guide to Pemberley” in book format stimulates ALL the senses. The author, J.B. Grantham, thought of it all from the very feminine watercolors to the lovely flowers inherent in the essence of what it is to be a part of Pemberley. The peaceful approach to bringing the architecture to life can only be seconded by Mr. Darcy’s own thoughts about what Pemberley means to him and to his Elizabeth. Even the literary elite will have to give a nod of accomplishment to J. B. Grantham in the Austen genre.
